On the bright side, I sold the bookcase. For about half what I paid for it...but I'd say for furniture that's probably the standard depreciation! And the people that bought it MIGHT come back for other furniture, including the fancy chair. The only catch is that the husband is really allergic to cats, so they were a little antsy of buying anything with upholstery.

Want some of my cholesterol medicine?

:-)

Tell him to blow it out his shorts...even if you just mentally say it to yourself. (That's how I do it most the time. Makes me feel better anyways.)

See ya in the morning, Rosie!

I vented to my brother for a bit. But it makes me so mad that this guy can get to me! I really shouldn't give a crap what he thinks, and I tell myself I don't, and yet he still has the ability to make me question even my strongest decisions at times.

Grrr.

He basically just kept saying (again, not in so many words) that the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, and I'm just setting myself up for disappointment and failure.

Even if that IS so, I think I need to fail in order to appreciate the grass here. ;-) And I don't think it's so!

People like that are poisonous. Just ignore him. His "honeyed venom" stems from the fact that he knows he will never have anything better in his life, and he hates it. Rather than try to change things for himself, he subtly criticizes everyone else who is trying to improve their life. It's his way of trying to make himself feel better about his own bad choices...

Hehe... I do feel better letting off steam here. It's just so frustrating, and the way I'm working is a little like using waldos to work inside a "hot" room. I'm coding on my machine, copying the code, pasting it into VI through an SSH client talking to several computers at school, and then using unix commands to compile the garbage.

Ruthy, what I just said means I'm having a miserable time and everything takes three times longer than it should.

Blow it off, sis.

Sounds like this fella's stuck in a rut and wants everyone to join him.

Misery loves company doncha know.

Is he around your age? If he is, he may have a crush on you and is ticked that you're leaving.

What a jerk! Ignore him, Rosie.

And congrats on the bookshelf! That's always good news, a little money to add to the stash.

That's pretty much exactly what my brother said.

Ewww, Gundam Seed. Gundam's one property that's gone on waaaay too long - think "Star Trek", only more sequels.

If you're doing it in the bread machine, you don't need to melt the butter, just cut it into little pieces! ;o)

Heh...no, he's a lot older. Don't think it's like that. He's just....well, I have no idea what his motivations are, other than possibly what Bear said.

I'll be back to feeling cheerful in the morning, I think. I guess a part of it is just that I'm getting pretty excited about all this, and DO truly feel that it's meant to be...so when someone rains on my parade I take it even more personally than usual.

Speaking of Star Trek sequels, read earlier tonight that UPN has cancelled "Enterprise" due to bad ratings. Current season will be the last. First Trek property to be cancelled since TOS...

Well, just fast-forward your emotional clock to the morning then. ;-D

You're here among those who love you and are thrilled about your new adventure.
